 Summary of the bug: "Luminance" refers to a physical quantity calculated
 from R, G, and B; "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma_(video) luma]" is
 the video stuff we use calculated from R', G', and B'. The current
 documentation for vf_geq.c uses the word "luminance", but it clearly deals
 with the latter.

 The term "Chrominance" is acceptable and does not need to be changed.

 How to reproduce: Navigate to https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#geq.
